  An Australian tourist had a miraculous escape when her bungee cord snapped during a jump in Zimbabwe, the Daily Telegraph reported.

  Erin Langworthy fell into the water on New Year's Eve after the rope snapped on her descent. As her friends looked on aghast, the 22-year-old managed to free her still bound legs and swim to safety through the crocodile-infested waters.

  "I think it is definitively a miracle that I survived," Langworthy said.

  The lucky survivor spent a week in hospital but was not seriously injured.
